We win this game we've peaked too soon
We lose this game, we don't have a hope this year

yeah, that sounds about right.

Sonny Bill Wildered.....

 

[Frederick]

Omg sbw lol

 

[BunniesMan]

Sonny Bill's mind is already on getting fitted for his All Blacks jersey

 

[BranVan3000]

JWH, looked like Tarzan and played like Jane tonight. Dominated by the Souths team and if he racked up anything decent stat wise - not much hurt them. Cheap stats.

Roosters had a real long off season, they will peak at the business end

 

[Jason Maher]

You're getting there BranVan... now repeat after me "lol@souffs!"

 

[no name]

The game has past him by........

 

[skeepe]

Those are some terrible moustaches

 

[BunniesMan]

A lot of people drawing a lot of unwarranted conclusions in round 1...

To be fair I was drawing the same conclusions before round 1.

 

[BranVan3000]

I blame the mustaches

 

[Swarzey]

Here we go! 2014 Premiers! Pencil it in folks!

 

[Noa]

George Burgess been the motm for mine.

 

[Hutty1986]

Good win bunnies-not a bad game to start the season

 

[DC_fan]

Awesome go the bunnies

 

[BranVan3000]

You're getting there BranVan... now repeat after me "lol@souffs!"

I lol with souffs

 

[English Rose]

Sonny Bill Wildered.....

Again Sam Burgess outplays him. I bet he has beaten him in every stat tonight!

 

[aussies1st]

Well deserved win for Souths all over the Roosters.

 

[BunniesMan]

Goodwin you star!

Game, set and match.

In all seriousness, the Roosters are a good team. They'll be there in September. But they are almost certain to not go all the way. It hasn't been done in over 20 years (in a full comp) for a reason.

If the Storm could never do it, this Easts team will never do it.

It is simply too hard to want it badly enough. Every other premier has realised that.

George Burgess been the motm for mine.

I am not writing off the Roosters nor JWH. Just an observation tonight.
